Marinate
In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag; add half of the marinade. Seal bag and turn to coat. Place peppers, zucchini, pineapple, and oranges in another resealable bag; add remaining marinade. Seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate chicken and vegetables for 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.

Grill
Drain chicken and discard marinade. Drain vegetables and fruit, reserving marinade for basting. Grill chicken, vegetables, and fruit, uncovered, over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side. Baste with reserved marinade. Continue turning and basting for 6-8 minutes, until chicken juices run clear, vegetables are tender, and fruit is golden brown.
